>>212366590 (OP)Anything you could say about America is true. It is a huge country with vast differences in how people live, and what they do. I will say that as a middle-class American, I realize that I have lived very well and had fantastic opportunities for fun, and good living that I didn't properly appreciate and take advantage of until I lived abroad in Germany for two years. Your hand is held a lot less by the government in the USA, but if you take initiative and do your best to socialize, and have adventures in the USA, you can live a wonderful life.
That being said, there are MANY problems in the USA, that are absolutely present and noticeable. Overall, I would rank living in the USA as above average, and if could be WELL above average depending on who you are as a person.
